SPECIAL NOTICE: Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a temperature limiting muf- fler and spark arresting screen which meets the requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest land and the states of California, Idaho, Maine, Minneso- ta, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that many internal combus- tion engines be equipped with a spark ar- resting screen. If you operate a hedge trim- mer in a state or locale where such regula- tions exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law. For normal homeowner use, the muf- fler and spark arresting screen will not re- quire any service. After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be ser-

viced or replaced by your Authorized Ser- vice Dealer.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra- tions through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood ves- sel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation dis- orders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An anti vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.
